WE could do the work. TOGETHER.
the work is simple.
we've all heard it a million times:
the work is complex. and multi-layered. and it will never end.
first of all, that sounds TERRIBLE. also. it's not even true.
the work is simple...it's just not easy.
the work is collaborative.
if you haven't clarified your mission, language,
or strategic approach to how you want to do the work,
you'll leave your team either wondering or wandering.
and neither of those will get any of us where we need to go.
the work is strategic.
when you want fast results, action can come before a plan.
in times like these, you need to slow down to speed up.
by taking the time to establish a DEI strategy,
it takes a bit longer, AND you'll get results you can count on.
the work is disruptive.
sometimes progress gets derailed by our need to be nice. and there just isn't space for nice when you dismantle systems that oppress our friends, colleagues, and neighbors. there is, however, space for disrupting the status quo. TONS.
